West st. Paul grounds yesterday aftel-
noon. The ST. Paul men did it with
little apparent effort, too. although some
of the best base ball talent of the team is
laid up for repairs just at present. Tie

that came st. Paul's way. Cleveland,
Of course, could not play, and Pickett
was in the formers old place over at
third. McCauley'S split finger pre-
vented him from holding down first
base, so Billy SowderS was stationed
there, and he held the bag down with
out an error. Burch was laid Off be-
cause of his prejudice against
a man who pitched with his left hand.

to occupy the box, insists always upon
doing. jim Duryea was in BurchS
usual position, the right field. Kellogg

of inflammation that put him on
the sick list three weeks ago.

the man that batted it. Murphy made
most difficult catch of Morrissey's
long fly III the eighth inning, having
misjudged it, started squarely away
from 1t and then turned in season to
gather it in. MOrrissey at first base and
Strauss at third carried off the honors
for the visitors. 4 fly catch with one
hand by the former, calling forth
applause till he lifted his hat.

ders, giving runs to Pickett and Crooks
in the first inning. In the second,
